Hud1ai2 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Today, I've found another awesome feature :( And I've started to have some feeling that Publisher isn't developed for bigger projects. I had to change the location of my linked files. So I expected, that some change of directory with images will be enough. But when the window to find the lost link is open, you don't know, which file is missing. So by accident I replaced some of images in my project and now, I'm not able to replace them back to original images. When I click to "replace image" nothing is happend :((( So maybe back to InDesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I am confident that Serif will even fix this (known) bug until official release. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hud1ai2 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 I hope so. Because now, everytime when I open my project Publisher informs about missing files, but in resource manager each link file is marked as "OK". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted April 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hi, Can you give me a bit of a recipe to follow demonstrating being unable to replace an image? I've just had a quick look and replaced an image to another image, and have no issues changing it back if need be. Thanks Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I think it is not (mainly) about replacing an image, but the fact that Publisher won't show which image has to be re-linked in the alert window. See recipe below. 1. Create a folder with a few images. 2. Place / link them in Publisher. Save and close. 3. Rename folder. 4. Open document. The alert pops up, that some images are missing and if you want to re-link them. Do so ... perhaps your remembrance is better than mine? Which was the first-placed-image? If you fail, at least two images are linked wrong.

Staff Jon P Posted April 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thanks, I've made sure the suggestions are passed on. It current doesn't seem to be suggesting any filename for me at all when finding missing resources on file load, so I do agree this can be improved.

Hud1ai2 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 The linking files is such a big weakness of the Publisher. The behaviour around it is really funny. Publisher wants to have all files correctly linked but accorindg to file size it seems all pictures are embeded inside. So I don't know, why the Publisher wants to repair these links. I understand this in ID when it asks you for changing the links. But in ID links are really links, it means only few amount of data unlike Publisher.

Or at least automatic notification of changes, if you don't want the updating to happen automatically. Neither of those can work if Publisher can't find the linked files. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Hud1ai2 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 This is big problem. Next thing caused by this bug is frequent crashing of the Publisher in my case (my project has 1,6GB now!). Jowday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
